After seeing a couple of conversations recently about stats/skills/building characters – I started to notice a couple of things. Firstly: players have very varied ways of approaching stats, skills, and character motivations (sort of like a multi-dimensional chicken and egg continuum). Secondly...

I was listening to Matt Mercer talking about his design process behind the Blood hunter homebrew class, and I was interested how little he touched on the mechanical aspect of where the class fitted (Glass Cannon), and focused much more on the archetype the character fits into – namely the hero...

After listening to Matt Colville explain his view on Alignment I was thinking how I’ve been describing alignment to myself when thinking about character motivations and how I view players at the table (I only have a couple of PbP games I’m GM-ing, so I haven’t got round to an pre-game alignment...

So I've been playing around with this idea for a while because I've been building a heavily reflavoured campaign setting where, at some point I'm sure, someone is going to want to have a crazy weapon concept like a laser scythe, or a pneumatic wrist blade, or a Combat Frisbee (.......ok fine...

Hi There, So this is more a vanity project thing more than anything else - I might look into introducing it in my homebrew game at some point for further testing if it gets that far. But mostly, it's because I had an unbridled love for the old Warden class in Lord of the Rings Online, and...

Hi guys & gals So I started a PbP game for the first time, and built my own setting, based around a lot of reskinning/reflavouring. However, I needed something to fill a specific concept I couldn't quite fill with the current classes in the PHB and, well, building your own stuff is fun! I've...

Hi there - looking to crowd-source some ideas! (NB: for everything onwards, I'm ignoring weight and Cost) I've been building a heavily flavoured homebrew world for my game and I've encouraged quite a lot of reflavouring of weapons because the world design is sort of Postapocalytip Magepunk...

Hi there, So me and my current DM were spitballing character progression possibilities for my current Dwarf fighter (lvl4) and due to the flavour of my character, got a little stuck with where to take it. My fighter is based around INT as a secondary stat, and flavoured as a student of legends...

Hi guys Does anyone know what the rules are around this power if it's used in combat, especially considering a Warlock can have concealment a lot of the time. I'm thinking specifically about the part of the power that states "Creatures that observe you are aware that you have done so". What...

O vast and faceless miasma of gaming knowledge, lend me your wisdom.... ....ahem. Quick point. I'm a new DM with a bunch of new gamers and alas, someone has drawn up the stereotypical, loud-mouth, hyper-aggressive, alcoholic dwarf. Now, I've no doubt this is due to not having played...

Hey guys. Looking for some advice on how to deal with a potential sticky issue. I've played 4e a bit and I'm solid enough with the numbers to spot an error when I see one. I've decided to take the plunge and DM my first game over an internet client, and all of the participants are relative...
